[IBC] MICHAEL HAGEDORN
 

Today I received my September issue of Kinbon (Contemporary Bonsai)
magazine from Japan. This interesting issue has a three page color
article on Michael Hagedorn working on a Shimpaku juniper, probably at
the Taikan Bonsai Museum.

Michael is now studying with Shinji Suzuki in Obuse, Japan at the
Taikan Bonsai Museum. The bonsai he designed is a driftwood style
Shimpaku juniper. He wired and shaped the branches, but it does not
look like he changed too much of the driftwood trunk and branches,
since they were already established. The bonsai looks great!

It is nice to see such a skilled American featured in a Japanese
magazine.

This issue also has several photos of Shinji Suzuki visiting ancient
Junipers in California when Boon took him there.

And others, too. He's done several nice North American native
trees for BT.

Hope he doesn't give up pots entirely, through. I have a couple
of his small ones, but would like some more.

As Bill says Michael is studying with Shinji Suzuki at Taikan
Bonsai Museum in Obuse, Japan until the end of 2006. He says he
intends to resume the making of bonsai containers upon his return
from his bonsai studies in Japan.
You can catch a glimpse of his experience at his web site
which contains a journal. Just go to:
http://www.infoblvd.net/hagedorn/index2.html In the Journal he
comments about the visit of the Kinbon staff in March and about a
TV documentary crew in April. Looks like he's being worked pretty
hard lately, though, because there have been no updates since
June.
